Squash Seeds – Cocozelle Zucchini
Cocozelle Zucchini is a type of summer squash with a cylindrical shape and green striped skin. It has tender flesh with a mild, sweet flavor and is commonly used in salads, stir-fries, and sautés.
To care for a Cocozelle Zucchini plant, it is important to plant it in a sunny location with well-draining soil. The plant needs consistent watering, especially during hot and dry periods, to ensure it doesn’t dry out. Regular fertilization with a balanced fertilizer will help promote healthy growth and fruit production. It is also important to keep an eye out for pests and diseases, such as squash bugs and powdery mildew, and take appropriate measures to control them if they appear. Harvest the zucchini when it reaches 6-8 inches in length, as leaving it on the vine for too long can cause it to become tough and bitter.
